Sonic Boom rocks South California as SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft returns to Earth
The Northlines
|May 26, 2025
A strong sonic boom shook Southern California late Saturday evening, catching residents throughout the region off guard as SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and splashed down dramatically off the coast near Oceanside.
-
Around 10:44 p.m., the unmanned Dragon spacecraft, which had returned from a successful resupply mission to the International Space Station, shattered the sound barrier as it descended into the atmosphere, generating a deafening boom that was felt and heard from Venice to Santa Clarita. Residents were initially terrified of an earthquake, windows rattling and ground shaking, before discovering the cause in the sonic boom from the spacecraft.
SpaceX had already alerted the public beforehand that Dragon would "announce its arrival with a brief sonic boom" before coming in for the landing.
